Humans have three genomes= mom's dad's and mitochondrial
Polyploids with even sets are fertile, and odd sets are infertile.
Endopolyploidy- only part of the organism is polyploid (ex. human liver)
Alloploid- contain genomes of closely related species
Autopolyploidy- increase int he number of chromosome sets in the same species
Aneuploidy- abnormal amounts of some chromosomes
Trisomy- an extra of one chromosome (usually a small one) often developmental problems
The SRY gene in males controls maleness. As long as you have an SRY gene, you are male.
XY and XXY without SRY or with a defective SRY are female, and possibly infertile.
XX individuals with an SRY translocation=male and infertile
X linked traits=common.
Sex limited genes-only in one phenotype
